ECB Conference on Monetary Policy 2025: bridging science and practice - Call for papers

The ECB will hold its eighth Monetary Policy conference with the ambition of bridging science and practice.

While again featuring an impressive line-up of invited speakers, the conference will also have a special session that gives a stage to young economists to present their work to central bankers and practitioners.

Topics

Young researchers – up to five years after completion of their PhDs – are invited to present their work related to monetary policy in the broad areas of macroeconomics, monetary policy strategy, money and credit, financial markets, and financial intermediation.

Submissions should ideally cover, but are not confined to, topics related to euro area monetary policy. 

Submission

Papers should be submitted in portable document format (PDF) to conf.mon.pol@ecb.europa.eu by 31 May 2025.

If your paper is accepted, you will be notified by mid-June 2025. We encourage presenters to attend in person. Academic speakers will be reimbursed for travel and accommodation costs incurred.
